Description

Close view of the head and upper neck of a pale terracotta figure, with a tall conical headdress ending in a rounded knob. The face has heavy-lidded eyes, a broad nose, a smiling mouth and ears on either side. A crack runs across the right cheek and jaw, and a dotted neckline marks the bottom edge against a pale wall.
